Glasgow Royal Concert Hall opened in 1990 and quickly became a landmark venue for music performance in Scotland. Designed by architects RMJM, it is renowned for its acoustics, particularly within the main auditorium, The New Auditorium, which seats over 2,400 people. The hall was built as part of Glasgow’s year as European City of Culture and aimed to address a perceived lack of suitable large-scale performance space in the city. It hosts a diverse programme encompassing classical music, jazz, contemporary music and other genres; it also serves as a key venue for the annual Celtic Connections festival.
